Tip: Include some cilantro stems along with the leaves for the boldest flavor. Or improvise by substituting other fresh herbs for the cilantro: basil, parsley, or mint all make a lively dressing.

Wow! This dressing was amazing! I’ve used it to elevate Mexican bowls, as dip with homemade potato wedges and on veggies. Definitely recommend trying this. As another reviewer said, it makes quite a lot.

I made this recipe and am afraid that I would not be able to finish this in 5 days. If I froze it, would it extend the life of the dressing?

Delicious but a little on the salty side. Would make a great dressing for a Mexican salad or burrito bowl or even dipping sauce for pita chips. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for sharing!
